An herbaceous perennial that grows to a height of 4 to 6 feet, Seaside Goldenrod bears toothless, hairless leaves, thicker than those of most other goldenrod species. It produces yellow flowers during the summer and well into the fall, later in the season than most of its relatives. Native to saline areas along the coast, this plant is resistant to salt spray as well as to deer, and grows in full fun and moist, sandy soils.
